Welcome to Litsy!

The Summer Getaway was wild with drama. I have come to like Mallery‘s womens fiction books, but this one had me saying wtf quite a bit. So much immaturity, the main character had issues (expected), the daughter had problems (which took an unexpected wild turn at the very end). The ex husband is a jackass, the bff is too whiny, etc. With that said it was well written and easy to read due to the high level of drama.

Normally I love Susan Mallery‘s books, but this one just didn‘t excite me. It‘s a good beach read as it is light reading. I thought the mother-daughter conflict portrayed between Robyn and Harlow was realistic. Lillian‘s house itself is a “character” in the story. Envision the Winchester mansion outside San Jose, California. Eccentric!

I enjoy Susan Mallery's books for beach & pool reads as they‘re easy to pick up, put down & get swept away to a vacation escape in between. Robyn is a likeable character, as are many of the supporting characters. I wanted to explore her Aunt's historic Santa Barbara house & all its treasures (I also want to know where I can get a relative to leave me a mansion &:or its contents-I promise to take the 15 cats with it!) ;-) An engaging soapy drama⬇️
